One of the leaders of England's early-'60s trad jazz front, Chris Barber (a solid trombone player) began leading his have bands in 1948. In 1954, trumpeter Pat Halcox linked Barber, and with the later additions of clarinettist Monty Sunshine, banjoist/singer Lonnie Donegan, and blue devils isaac Bashevis Singer Ottilie Patterson, Barber had an all-star work party. Sunshine's gain version of "Petite Fleur" made both Barber and the clarinettist into big names. Although his chemical group was based in Dixieland, Barber has long been open-minded towards rag, swing, mainstream, blues, R&B, and john Rock. He has collaborated with many artists including Louis Jordan, Russell Procope, Wild Bill Davis, and Dr. John, and has toured the U.S. various times since 1959.
